Ashermusic Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Forgive me if you all already know this but I did not until recently. I used to have my Autoload full of my favorite default audio instruments and presets and it took FOREVER to load all the samples. So along came Channel Strips and it was no longer necessary to have all that. But here is another solution. If you do indeed fill your Autoload with lots of A.I.s if in the Track Parameter box you turn the Instrument to "Off" it will not load anything until you reassign it to that instrument. Save as Template. The beauty of it is that when you reassign it to that instrument it will remember your default preset. Make sure that you remember i.e that Instrument 3 is i.e. EVP88, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas L Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yes! I recently learned this one as well. I immediately started to name my tracks "[33] Solo Horn" for example. Then I know which instrument to set the track to. Perfect for big orchestral setups. (My Autoload is now approx 50 tracks!)

pkirst Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Sorry, but I think this is just another workaround. Not very elegant. Why would you have to remember which instrument track was assigned to which AI ? Doesn't make sense. It would be much better to be able to de-activate (meaning UNLOAD) unsused instruments and save that as a new song. Then, all AIs should be greyed out (same happens when you option click on the instrument in the channel strip, the only difference is that the instrument just won't play back anymore, although it is still being loaded - stupid in my opinion. What's the use of that?). Then, when you re-activate the track (option click on instrument channel strip), it will simply re-load that instrument. What do you think about that?

David Nahmani Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Patrick, your ideas are good from a user point of view. I think from a developer's point of view, things look different. For example, plug-in bypass has to be an instant thing so you can easily automate it. Obviously, it would be great if bypassing an instrument plug-in would trigger the behavior you describe, but that's just not the way it works because so far, the developers have only coded ONE way of bypassing a plug-in, a way that is instantaneous so you can automate it or bypass plug-ins live. Hopefully in the future the developers will code several ways of bypassing plug-ins, depending on the type of plug-in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillo jr Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Can someone direct me to where this "off" setting is in the track parameters box? I'm in Logic 9 here. Is it in the inspector? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in the inspector of the environment window. "Channel" is the parameter, "Off" is the value that parameter should be set to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
